The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has released its afternoon weather forecast for Wednesday, September 23, 2026, cautioning residents in several parts of the country to prepare for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.

According to GMet, thunderstorms developing over the transition zone this afternoon will gradually extend into communities including Kintampo, Atebubu, Buipe, Techiman, Amantin, Ejura and their environs as the evening approaches.

Communities in the middle sector can also expect slight to moderate rainfall during the same period.

Of particular concern is a rainstorm that meteorologists have already observed forming over southeastern Burkina Faso.

That system is tracking westward and is forecast to reach most parts of Ghana's northern sector from late afternoon into the evening hours.
